Arthur’s Day

Sir, – I salute Christy Moore and his views on Arthur’s Day (Home News, September 18th). Last year I found myself in Temple Bar on the evening of Arthur’s Day and witnessed scenes of unbelievable drunkenness. Thank goodness for a clear unblinkered view from one of our great artists. He sees this event for what it is in its crude commercialism. Well done, Christy. – Yours, etc,
